FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the headboard trend?

Headboards are once again becoming popular, with big, bold shapes in bright colors, wooden and patterned fabrics being a go-to choice.

It’s all about creating a focal point and making a real statement and an upholstered headboard will really allow you to show off your personality, whilst being comfortable and practical too.

How do you choose the right design for a unique headboard?

Begin by assessing the overall theme and size of your bedroom. Consider the materials and colors that would complement existing décor.

Think about functionality, like whether you want built-in storage or lighting. Custom headboard designs allow for personal touches, so incorporate elements that resonate with you. Lastly, always ensure the design aligns with your comfort and practical needs.

Can any headboard fit on any bed?

Yes, a headboard can be attached to any bed frame provided they are size compatible. For example, a twin headboard can be attached to a twin platform bed, bunk bed, or four-poster bed, but a twin headboard cannot be attached to a full size bed frame.

How do you decide on the right height for your headboard?

The height depends on room size, ceiling height, and personal preference. Taller headboards make strong visual statements, ideal for large rooms.

For smaller spaces, opt for shorter designs to avoid overpowering the room. Ensure the headboard complements other furniture pieces. A good rule of thumb is to have it reach at least above the bed’s midpoint, providing a balanced look.

Are Rattan headboards strong?

Strong and durable. Whilst it might seem flimsy at first, rattan is actually incredibly durable and will truly stand the test of time. Easy to clean and maintain, your rattan bed will look brand spanking new for years to come.
